Using Oyster on Valid NR Services

wrote: How does Oyster work when you need to touch in and touch out on more than one occasion to complete a journey. E.G A jorney from Harow on the Hill to Oxford Circus Touch in at Harrow on the Hill. Use Chiltern line to get to Marylebone. At Marlebone, touch out to exit Chiltern Rail. Touch in to enter Bakerloo line. Touch out at Oxford Circus. This would register as 2 journeys and cost £7. This does not make sense! It would not register as two journeys provided the interchange at Marylebone is done as if it was one through journey i.e. you don't wander off for a couple of hours exploring the Marylebone area. The gates are set to recognise such interchange traffic and as LU fares apply both sides of the gateline then it will be treated as a through trip at one fare. As others have said you may see some strange values on gateline displays as you interchange due to values being deducted and added back on but on final exit the normal HoH to Oxo fares should be the one that is charged. It is also worth noting that there is a 2 hour maximum journey time for PAYG trips and that should be easily achievable on the trip you mention. Does your query stem from a real life experience or from pondering how the system works? -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
